Grocery store pickup

[oc16]

Good, because I love ribs, pork chops, and bacon.



They need to open more locations, then.

Because I will pass 5 Walmarts before I see one Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.

And nobody shops at Target anymore...every time I step into Target it is dead...with more employees than customers.

Target isn't ideal food wise, but when I was there last week I saw 10 women 7+ all within 5 minutes.

But as far as Roosh and his "Is that good" advise...as I stated before, sure, that can lead to something....but again, I am from the ARC camp, and that "Is it good" shiit ain't alpha enough for me.

Not direct enough.

Roosh was more of a proponent of indirect game vs. direct game.

There have probably been threads on indirect vs. direct, so I don't want to turn this thread into indirect vs. direct.

In a grocery store, one argument for indirect would be plausible deniability. Doing direct game in a grocery store might annoy a store manager and possibly on premise private security.

The biggest thing that could draw attention to a grocery store approacher is staying in the store too long. The longest I would recommend staying in any grocery store if doing approaches in it is one hour. Also, buy stuff in the grocery store. A grocery store is not a mall store. In a mall store, you can get away with going into a store and not purchasing something. That's not possible with a grocery store.

As I have said before; I think this environment is one of the most challenging. I am referring to passing females in the aisles, not waiting on line. Waiting online is a little easier.

You don't have time to think; you have to have something to say right in the moment and if you hesitate a few seconds the opportunity is gone.

I made brief eye contact with an attractive blonde at the Trader Joe's and she cracked a very, very slight smile but was looking to the side and not at me when she did it. I am not sure if that very slight smile was for me, but I hesitated because I had ZERO to comment on.

You also want to avoid going in the same direction since it might seem like you are "following her". She was in another area of mine a few minutes later, but I did not say anything.

Supermarket pickup is extremely challenging, because what do you comment on? "Hey, I see you have 95% lean meat in your cart, are you a vegetarian?

Thoughts?

You're overthinking it, grocery stores are as easy as any other place people aren't in a rush.

A couple weeks ago I was looking to try some new chicken seasoning recipes and saw a cutie in yoga pants walk by me going the opposite way in the spice aisle. I told myself if she ended up coming back into the aisle or sticking around and browsing, that I'd ask her an innocent question.

She did just that so I walked up to her and said 'hey do you know your spices? I'm trying to season a whole chicken and have no idea which of these would be any good, any suggestions?'

She started suggesting different combinations and most importantly she started asking questions back. In any situation when a woman asks questions back, it's game on and I know she's interested. We asked questions back and forth, got off topic to more personal stuff, laughed a bit, and swapped numbers. I laid her two days later after meeting up for coffee.

Start with an innocent situational question, then simply see if they ask questions back. If they do then just chop it up and set the vibe.

I use this innocent question approach everywhere with great success. If she asks questions back it's something like a 90% lay rate. If she doesn't ask anything then I let the conversation die and go on with my day.

Need to be super careful in Grocery stores theres almost always a BF wondering around somewhere

Few occasions I've thought about approaching in them and within 5mins a BF appears with a trolley lol

 

[BaronOfHair]

Or, if you are like me, follow her out to the parking lot after she leave the checkout line .

I(and no doubt the rest of us)trust that you're also resisting the urge to swipe a couple of knives from the thrift store, then treating this chick's toddler to your most convincing Bionca Ellis impersonation https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-allegedly-stabs-3-year-boy-death-random/story?id=110808871 , once you've caught up with her out in that parking lot

That's not an innocent question, it's an obvious and sleazy PUA opener that only dumb hoes* would respond to. Any other girl knows you have access to all the info you need on your phone. And what qualifies her as a culinary expert anyway, her tight yoga pants?

I laid her two days later after meeting up for coffee.

*Point proven.

Exactly ... I'd like to see his face when her BF appears and gives him a stern 'can't I leave my GF alone for 2 min without some A-hole hitting on her' look.

Funny, with that logic asking her literally anything is sleazy and a PUA opener because I could just shove my face in my phone. Fuuck tech, networking in person is way better imo.

All women are hoes deep down, it's a primal response when they sense something they like and there's nothing wrong with it. Personally I lose interest if she doesn't put out on the first date. I might go on one more if her personality was amazing, but otherwise it's simple incompatibility. You must love prudes that hate sex or breadcrumb you.

She's a woman that's grocery shopping, chances are she knows her way around a kitchen. Besides, the point is to gauge her interest, not test her knowledge of spices.

I couldn't give two fuucks if her bf is an aisle over. If she's a feral cat she'll fuuck around and there's nothing he can do about it.

Most boyfriends know their girlfriends get hit on when their girlfriends go out into public alone. Even with fewer men doing approaches in real life, there are enough men out there doing approaches.

It's not an obvious opener because there is plausible deniability. It is a PUA tactic. Roosh promoted indirect openers similar to this in "Day Bang", which was published back in 2011.

While some questions can be answered with Google, YouTube, and TikTok searches on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, not all questions are like that. Asking a question of "Is X good or is X a good cooking method?" is somewhat of a valid questions. The idea with any situational observation or situational question is to break the ice and then transition into slightly deeper topics and then assess if there's a good vibe. Roosh had a GALNUC framework for these daygame conversations. In the London Daygame Model, this is called "Open-Stack-Vibe-Invest-Close". It is same idea. Open a female somehow, get her talking, then arrange a get together/instant date, and collect her phone number.

https://www.sosuave.net/forum/threa...-not-good-looking-enough.282318/#post-3120722 Oddly enough, there was a time when men were discussing these facts of life in everyday language, rather than emulating The Woke Left, by communicating in paragraphs overloaded with jargon and buzzwords

Walmart is full of pigs.

You have to go to Target, Trader Joes or Whole Foods.

It depends on what's most appealing to you.

The fittest females will tend to be at stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's. There are also some example's of regional grocers with a similar profile to those stores mentioned, such as AJ's Fine Foods in Arizona or Central Market in Texas.

The problem with doing seduction at Whole Foods is that while there are some attractive women there, a lot of the women who shop at Whole Foods have attitude problems. There are a lot of careerist, Girl Boss types at Whole Foods. These types are a little bit more difficult for something medium to longer term. Some men might be able to put up with them enough for some short term sex. It all depends on the individual man's preferences.

Sprouts is a little bit better than Whole Foods in terms of pricing. Somewhat lower prices. As a result, the women have attitudes that are a little bit more down to Earth.

With every brand of grocer, some store locations are going to be better for pickup than others. Store locations in neighborhoods with mostly single family houses and a lot of married people are going to be worse options for grocery store approaching. Store locations near apartments and in neighborhoods with mostly unmarried people are where you want to do your grocery store approaching. In a larger metropolitan area, sometimes small distances can make a difference in picking which grocery store you'll want to go to if you want to try and do approaches while out shopping.

In considering my history with grocery store approaching, I have done a lot of grocery store approaching in my life across brands of grocery stores. I have gotten more dates at Kroger/Albertsons branded stores (see links below for list of those store brand names) as compared to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Sprouts, or Natural Grocers. That may be something specific to me and my approaching/vibe.

Most likely due to random chance. You haven't done anywhere near enough statistically to draw any conclusions that wouldn't be more likely to simply be from random chance.

What is most likely due to random chance? Getting more dates at Kroger/Albertsons branded stores than other types of stores. I have spent a fair amount of time in most grocery stores over the years I've been living independently.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

What is most likely due to random chance?

Your success at store A versus store B

 

[SW15]

Your success at store A versus store B

I agree with that conclusion.

... you should have a game plan on what you will say...because having a game plan requires less thinking and will apply equally to every woman you encounter.

This Billy Joel song is literally about the importance of that game plan.

Another of his songs is about coping with not succeeding ("Just a little push, and you'll be smiling").

Roosh was more of a proponent of indirect game vs. direct game.

Gotcha. I'm not familiar with dude, but that tells me all I need to know.

There have probably been threads on indirect vs. direct, so I don't want to turn this thread into indirect vs. direct.

I plan to make one myself, because our POV of indirect vs direct sets the stage for everything we do in our dating lives.

In a grocery store, one argument for indirect would be plausible deniability. Doing direct game in a grocery store might annoy a store manager and possibly on premise private security.

Sure, it can.

But that is one of the worse case scenarios and need not be a consideration.

The biggest thing that could draw attention to a grocery store approacher is staying in the store too long. The longest I would recommend staying in any grocery store if doing approaches in it is one hour.

One hour?

I would say 10-15 minutes...but I'm not against a guy in there for an hour doing his thang.

In fact, some Walmarts have so many potentials that I can see myself staying in there for a good hour.

The problem with staying so long is, you run the risk of Woman A seeing you talking to Woman B.

This creates a very awkward situation, and I think I've ruined at least two chances because of a woman that I'd just gotten her phone number, she saw me talking to another woman.

Cringy situation.

Also, buy stuff in the grocery store. A grocery store is not a mall store. In a mall store, you can get away with going into a store and not purchasing something. That's not possible with a grocery store.

That's why I just go in, scope out the situation, and leave.
